AN OSWALDTWISTLE man has admitted flashing at 10 women in Burnley.

And Vincent Mills, Roe Greave Road, has been warned that he could face a jail term when he is sentenced.

Mills pleaded guilty to 10 counts of indecent exposure during a hearing at Burnley Crown Court.

The 40-year-old, who was granted bail, will have to continue to reside at his home address and not enter Burnley unless he is meeting with his solicitors, John Maxwell defending told the hearing.

Mills wanted to put the incidents behind him and would benefit greatly from the help from the probation service, added Mr Maxwell.

Mr Maxwell said: "He found it very difficult to admit and knows he will inevitably have to face the consequences.

"He wants it understood that he wants this behind him.

"He will benefit considerably from one or the other options provided by the probationary services."

Prosecuting solicitors will give further details about the incidents at the sentencing hearing.

Judge Pamela Badley said Mills would be given full credit for his guilty plea.

She said: "Before passing sentence I will look at all the information available to me.

"All the sentencing options including custody are open to the court."

The hearing was adjourned until June 16 so a pre-sentence report could be drawn up.
